Sub(Em)merge, Choreography Showcase
(Fall 2021)


As part of UC Berkeley's costume class, co-designer Vincent Chau (vincent171@berkeley.edu) and I created this costume for Erica Gillespie's performance in the Berkeley Fall Choreography Showcase.
This project required a lot of collaboration between Chau and I. We started with a general concept, created several individual designs, and then worked together to create a final design vision. Because this show was a zero budget production, we then had to coordinate with the costume shop to create a final version of the costume that fit our vision while also being able to be compiled out of existing fabric and costume pieces available to us.







At right: preliminary pencil sketches of my initial concept.
At left: A watercolor rendering after a design meeting that incorporated elements from both designs.
